## XP System Overview

PulseTrader's **Experience Points (XP) System** rewards traders for executing trading signals. Unlike traditional credit-based systems, XP is earned through signal execution and provides a simple way to track your trading activity.

### 🎮 **What is the XP System?**

The XP System is a **simple reward system** where traders earn experience points by executing trading signals. It's designed to:

* **Track Activity**: Monitor your signal execution history
* **Reward Participation**: Earn XP for each signal you execute
* **Simple Progression**: Accumulate XP over time through trading

***

### 🏆 **XP vs Leaderboard Points**

While both XP and Leaderboard Points track your platform activity, they serve different purposes:

#### **Experience Points (XP)**

* **Purpose**: Track your individual trading activity and signal executions
* **Earning**: Earned by executing trading signals
* **Display**: Shown in platform header next to your account
* **Usage**: Measures your personal trading journey
* **Expiration**: Never expires or decreases

#### **Leaderboard Points**

* **Purpose**: Competitive ranking system to compare performance with other traders
* **Earning**: Based on XP earned + referral bonuses
* **Display**: Shown on the [Leaderboard](/platform-features/leaderboard.md) with global rankings
* **Usage**: Compete for top positions and track community standing
* **Time Filters**: Can view rankings for "All Time", "Last Week", or "Last Month"

#### **How They Relate**

Your **Leaderboard Points** are calculated from your **XP earned**, making them directly connected:

* Trading signals earn XP → XP contributes to Leaderboard Points
* Referring traders earns bonus points (100 XP per referral) → Also contributes to Leaderboard
* Your Leaderboard rank is determined by your total points compared to other traders

**→** [**View the Leaderboard**](/platform-features/leaderboard.md) to see where you rank!

Every time you execute a signal, an XP transaction is recorded showing:

* **Amount Earned**: XP awarded for the signal execution

* **Timestamp**: When the XP was earned
* **Balance After**: Your XP total after the transaction
